It would have been the perfect scam, if only they could write gooder

How I almost got conned on Facebook Marketplace.

One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to declutter my house, and here is how it’s been going so far:

You really don’t realize how much pointless junk you’ve accumulated until you try to get rid of it all, and even after bags of stuff has done to the thrift store and/or the trash, the house still looks like a rummage sale. At least I’m prepared if the taxman come to the door.

I have managed to unload some old electronics on Facebook Marketplace, and I was pleased to get an offer to buy an Amazon Kindle Fire 7 tablet I had lying around. And at full price, too. Why, the buyer even offered to e-transfer the money to me in advance.

And it’s when I got the email notification that I noticed something strange was going on.
